The cemetery that was dismantled by the Soviets in the 1950's with many of the headstones used as building materials and for roads. Ten years many of the stones were discovered and are being returned to the Jewish community. We gained some publicity for this last year and now we are trying to raise funds to build a memorial there to help the existing Jewish community grow and be known to the wider world. The Knesset got wind of this last year and I attended a meeting there to discuss possible support. We have no confirmation of support yet but we hope that may come.The proposed memorial will be made from the headstones and will be placed on the territory of the original cemetery.
